Even the most diehard Washington Commanders fans can be excused if they had to consult a roster list while watching their team play the Dallas Cowboys on Christmas Day.
Five of the rotational defensive linemen –— Sheldon Day, Jalyn Holmes, Drake Jackson, Shy Tuttle, and Ricky Barber — had played a combined total of 420 snaps for the Commanders entering the Week 17 rivalry game.
If you count the snaps Tuttle played for the Tennessee Titans earlier this year, that number goes up slightly. However, it is still significantly less than the snaps played by Javon Kinlaw, one of the few presumed starters who was available.
